I love it! And I would really like to have more upgrades so I can catch dozens of good signals per second LOL screenshot-2026-04-21_12-28-27.png

This is really sweet! I love the vibes of this game. Good work!

The game exudes a sense of loneliness. Without upgrades, you can play it with your eyes closed. I liked the game.

Nice game! Loved the atmosphere

Really like the mood of the game! It's so quiet and relaxing. I think the graphics is also really cool and adds a lot! It could maybe be cool if there was more to look at while waiting, like shooting stars or something like this but I like it!

Interesting game, nice mood and sound.

Would have been cool to spice it up a bit somehow - maybe make the signal searching a bit more complex, or add another thing that a person could do while waiting for signal extraction? I spent all money on navigation/extraction speed and still after a few minutes hit a signal that took about a minute to extract. Maybe I'm a bit impatient, but I would love to have something to do in the meantime :D

On the first view it was very simple game, but after pressing play i loved this sound, really the most space sound, core gameplay is very ez and narrative, without upgrades it will be very boring, but upgrades was submitted very fast by me and i have some additional money to buy maybe some extra stuff))Снимок экрана — 2026-04-21 в 23.27.35.png

Nice, chill, relaxing, good atmosphere, autoplays for me so it now runs in the background cuz I like the music

I enjoyed this! A nice chill experience, i liked the sound design and the music a lot, good job!

I quite like your take on the concept, I like the use of capturing the signal frequency to earn money and upgrade. It has a good core loop. Quite quickly it felt repetative though, and the graphics while good are very dark so it was hard to see what is going on. It felt like a lot of waiting, first when extracting, second when looking for new zone and my input as a player felt minimal (moving left/right). Well done on your jam :clap:

Love the artstyle, and the esthetic is really clean and chill. Really easy to play and relaxing!

Nice job! Maybe i did something wrong but i couldn't hear a signal and interrupt it when i started extracting, i would like to have also signal visualization and ability to interupt it if a signal is over. BTW well done!

Nice, chill, and relaxing! I really loved the mood and sound design, it was a very cool atmosphere to enjoy the music to. The core gameplay felt a bit repetitive, if you saw yourself moving to another place, it would be perfect!

Pretty cool game, I'd say it lacks some challenge. I think it has quite a lot of potential to be really fun. Maybe the signals you are collection have some messages, so you can tie a story in it?
